A new professional space for Rothchild in the iconic Aurora Place building, required a specific approach to design to incorporate the strong vision and clear user specifications.
Office spaces don’t have to be ordinary to be professional, here the ceiling lines and indirect lighting adds depth and atmosphere to an otherwise dark space. Services in the ceiling are still accessible for maintenance with the use of carefully blended panels.
Aurora Place is a beautifully and irregularly designed building, with curved walls. Bates Smart embraced this shape in their design, to create welcoming curved passageways leading to multiple spaces and hinting at the spectacular views of the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge. The hallway is also designed as a pseudo gallery, with beautiful work installed and highlighted with speciality lighting and humidity-controlled air conditioning. These photos, taken before art installation demonstrate the professional aesthetic combined with simple beauty of curved lines, embracing the base building structure.
The space provided to Rothchild includes 2000sqm of premium quality, professional services reception space, open plan work areas, meeting rooms, boardroom, breakout spaces and commercial kitchen.
